A Beautiful Story

By Anne Bordelon

This book found its way to me at a time when I needed it most. Thank you. Josh and Aqua’s story solidified my belief that we are all the same, while also so beautifully different.

Wow.

"I laughed, I cried, I laughed again"... And also got angry, cried more, felt upset, and cried more. I fell in love with this book! It expresses an unexpected love that turned sour. I decided to buy this after it was recommended by Tyler Oakley, and it was definitely worth it! Give it a read sometime, you won't be disappointed!

LOVE THIS BOOK!

I've read this book twice, and give it to my friends to read. Great story, you'll think about it long after you've finished it.

This book is... I can't and don't want to attempt describing it. I really enjoyed reading it, it pulls your mind and heart in many directions. Every part is exactly what you didn't know you wanted to happen. I am going to read this again. And again. Thank you author.

I laughed, I was in love with the Jack and the romance, I cried, as the hope happy ending fads away. This is a great book, I couldn't put it down. Wish there are more books like this.

I didn't really know what I was getting myself into here... The book was kind of a whim purchase. But it turned out to be amazing! A true must read for any city dweller, party goer, anyone really! This NEEDS to be a movie!!!

Tough Read

By Belliemay

Not a tough read from the lack of writing technique, more from the "Oh God, enough already!" factor. Reading about this man's life was a test of how not to jump through the pages and make the madness stop. I know a little about drag queens and the second skin it represents. The writing was gritty and pretty, just like New York City. At once I was catapulted into the deep nightlife, I could smell the bars, then brought to a heartfelt quiet while two hearts connected over coffee and the Sunday Times. A boy in a mans body looking for squash--the comforts of home--completely out of reach, but right there. All I can say is I'm glad there was some resolve in this mans life. I hope Jack found his as well.
